Juventus started strong with a 5-0 demolition of Al Ain where the job was done by halftime (4-0) and sit top of Group G. Wydad, by contrast, went down 2-0 to Manchester City and will need a shock result to remain in contention.

Match 30 – Group H
Real Madrid vs CF Pachuca
Kick-off: 22 June at 21:00 SAST
Venue: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte
Real Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw by Al Hilal in their opener and will be looking for a full three points to challenge Salzburg for the top of the table. Pachuca fell 2-1 to Salzburg after clawing back to 1-1 and desperately need a result to stay alive.

Match 31 – Group H
FC Salzburg vs Al Hilal SFC
Kick-off: 23 June at 00:00 SAST
Venue: Audi Field, Washington, D.C.
Salzburg impressed with their 2-1 win over Pachuca with the winner coming in the 76th minute. Al Hilal showed resilience to draw with Real Madrid, also coming from behind. This could be a crucial clash for top spot in the group.

FC Salzburg – 3.90
Draw – 3.90
Al Hilal SFC – 1.90
Of the 2 teams I was most impressed with Al Hilal and I am backing them to justify favouritism.
Bet: Al Hilal SFC win at 1.90
Match 32 – Group G
Manchester City vs Al Ain FC
Kick-off: 23 June at 03:00 SAST
Venue: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta
Manchester City looked composed in their 2-0 win over Wydad and should have too much quality for an Al Ain side reeling from a 5-0 loss to Juventus. Anything less than a win would be a surprise.

Manchester City – 1.08
Draw – 12.00
Al Ain FC – 34.00
City scored in the 2nd minute in their opener and I am backing them to be ahead after 10 minutes.
Bet: 10 minutes – winner from 1-10 minutes Man City at 3.60
